That is a pretty asinine asking price. No wonder they claim to not be able to field a difficult schedule.

This is prepping for the ensuing massive debate about Boise not deserving the title game."Don't expect I'll see you 'till after the race"

Someone who negotiates big-time deals once told me you set a price higher than what you expect. Fair play to Boise, but they should aim a little lower next time.Originally posted by cougjunkie View Post"I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

Is that really that much money? How much do these FCS schools get when they go into Lincoln? I bet it's at least $600k."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Right now, I think Nebraska would get more exposure for playing Boise than Boise would for playing Nebraska. The number of TV sets tuning in and the fact that ESPN would pick it up as a prime time game are compelling enough to poney (no pun intended) up the dough.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"They're good.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

I am not sure I believe the report to begin with, but even if true I don't think it is a completely absurd request by Boise. And if true, does this mean that Oregon, Oregon St, and VA Tech all ponied up $1 mil for BSU? That there makes me not believe this story. And seeing the ratings BSU pulled the other night, $1 mil seems like a pretty good deal."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

I think the typical non D1A team gets $500K or so for a money game. At a place like Nebraska with stadium of 70K or so where the average ticket price is $50. Would a game against Boise State command an extra $500K or an extra $7 per ticket? Throw in the TV money, exposure, etc. $1M is not a bad asking price for a school like Boise for a game like this. The Boise-Va Tech game probably was worth in the $10M range just for TV.Comment

I was under the impression that home and home meant that you didn't pay the other team. They kept their gate, you keep yours and there is a fee that is pretty much accepted by all schools. If it is a 2-1 or a 1 and done, then yeah, you figure out a price. But home and home? BSU is being stupid.Originally posted by jay santos View PostA man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad AliComment

Home-and-home? With Nebraska? Um, no, the deal did not include a return trip.Originally posted by CJF View Post"I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

According the article:Originally posted by BoylenOver View Post
If you are BSU and have a chance to do a home and home with Nebraska, you do it.In the past year, NU tried to put together a series with BSU; two-for-one, home-and-home, one-way trip to Lincoln. Whatever. It ended up fizzling out. Why?A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad AliComment

Ohio State paid Youngstown State $650,000 each of the 2 years they played us (Roughly 1.2 Million)..
And I guess Ohio State is willing to pay Colorado $800,000 next year (I think that is a bad decision.. Colorado blows chunks)...
